AI is being added to everything right now. Every product has a new tab, a new button, a new promise: “Now with AI.”

The real question is whether any of it is actually being used — or whether it’s a fad and a gimmick.

  • Messages sent are steadily growing.
  • More unique users are discovering the AI features, engaging, and sticking every week.

Not a spike. Not a novelty bump. A consistent upward trend. That’s what real feature adoption looks like.
